    Summary

    Ryan sighed. He shifted his positioning on Izzie’s bed, moving his hands back so that they brushed over Naim’s knuckles as they went. “I really wanna hold you,” Ryan whispered.

    “Me too,” Naim whispered back immediately, as if he had been keeping the words in his mouth for hours. “It’s all I’ve wanted for weeks.”

    “I wanna play fight,” Ryan whispered next.

    Summary

    Two years after the credits roll, Ryan and Naim have built a careful routine around the thing that wants them dead. For Ryan, every day feels a little less like living. Every damn day: they die or they don't. Those are their choices, for tomorrow and the next day and into forever, and nothing Ryan could say or confess to will change it. They die or they don't. They either die, bloody and begging, or they don't.

    Summary

    “Why would I do that?” Naim asks, aiming for nonchalance — though he lands somewhere around mild indigestion to his own ears.

    Ryan tilts his head, studying him with that infuriating little smile that Naim swears could kill an entire population from the swooning it could trigger.

    “Because I'm asking you to, pretty boy.”

    (Or, Ryan and Naim are roommates in college. Ryan flirts and Naim rolls his eyes as he pretends his heart isn't about to fail him. Bad decisions and good decisions happen on a night of too many wine and questions asked.)

    Summary

    For the rest of the afternoon he turns the scene over and over in his head. It shouldn’t bother him. It was a 20 second interaction in his 9 hour workday. He’s never going to see her again. Maybe it would bother him less if she didn’t wear the same shade of lipstick as his mother, or if her stupid outfit wasn’t the same color as his grandma's dining room curtains, or if kind smiles from older women didn’t strike a raw cord of longing in his chest.

    Maybe if not for the cruel reminder that God doesn’t love him. Maybe if not for the fact that he still cares about receiving God’s love.

    Loving Naim is a sin that strangers feel Ryan should repent for. Ryan seeks comfort the only way he knows how.

    Summary

    “Family? Family doesn’t do what you did.” His vision is hazy, he tries to blink the moisture away. “You have no idea what the thing did to us… wanted to do to us. What it tried to do to me, like, multiple times,” Naim says. Sometimes, he can still feel phantom hands pulling at his belt, turning him over, smashing his face into walls, clawing at his hips. Fingers so deep in his throat they scratched his esophagus until he vomited blood. He sniffles. “Fucked up shit, Mum. So much of it.”

    She reaches out to grab his hand. Naim doesn’t pull away. Tears fall for real now, hot and sticky, rolling down both his cheeks. “Mom, how could you do that to me?”

    It’s Christmas eve. Naim’s present to his mother will be their first face to face conversation in almost five years.

    Summary

    There is something impossible and bright growing in Naim’s chest, like someone has reached inside him and shone a light in him, warm and all consuming. Ryan is dazzling, pink cheeked and white gold in the light, run down converse and a soft mouth, his calloused hand in Naim’s.

    A series of firsts.

    “Please, tell me you won’t do that again,” he pleaded. He was ready to drop to both knees right then and there.

    “Never again,” Naim promised. It was the only words Ryan needed to hear before he pushed Naim back onto the king-sized bed.

    Summary

    "Naim lets himself watch for a moment, taking in the crinkle of Ryan's eyes when Olivia makes a joke. When he gets caught staring, Ryan raises an eyebrow at him and gestures towards the black gown neatly folded over the radiator.

    He picks it up and slips both arms into the sleeves, feeling the heavy weight of the last four years wash over him as he turns to look at himself in the mirror and smooths the fabric down his chest and sides. "

     
    Six years after leaving Bandee, Naim and Ryan get ready to attend Naim's university graduation ceremony. Distraction attempts ensue.

    They should be getting ready for school. They should be at the gates, complaining about another day trapped inside. They shouldn't be on the balcony of a shitty motel, that surely doesn't even have one star in ratings.

     

    But they are.

     

    They we're alive. Alive with no plan, no money and no fucking clue what they we're doing. But they we're together, hand in hand. And they just had to believe that it was enough.

    Summary

    "If you're asking me to go to formal with you, and by formal you mean somewhere else," Naim says in a breathy voice. "Then, yeah. Of course I wanna do that."

    Ryan breaks out into a grin, arm pulling Naim flush against him and replacing his thumb with his lips. Humming into the kiss, Naim draws his arms free and winds them around Ryan's neck.

    As the kisses drift from his mouth to his neck, Naim bares the skin for Ryan to map out, eyes peeling open and staring at the sticks on the floor again.

    Will u go to formal with me?

    Naim and Ryan's formal night together, in which they don't attend formal but end up in the middle of the bush.

    Summary

    Ruffled, Naim stands taller. "What'd you mean 'a guy like me'?"

    Those ice blue irises dip, lazily dragging down to the front of his converse before taking the same path back up again. When they meet Naim's eyes again, there is a glint in them that makes his stomach flip.

    A smirk overtakes the blond's expression. "Dunno. That's what I'm curious about."

    The night begins as just another party that Naim is being dragged along to. However, that changes the moment that Ryan Whelan notices him through the crowd.

    “We’re in the same hotel,” Ryan continues. “I’ve got a room. I thought you might want to talk more about how I’m ‘predictable’.”

    Reid stares at him for a second longer than necessary. “You inviting me over?”

    “Depends,” Ryan says, tilting his head. “You gonna come?”

    There’s a stutter of breath, and Ryan concludes that he doesn't really mind that his comment came out that way.

    “We’ll see,” Reid says. "Don’t get your hopes up.”

    Summary

    Naim had been up and down all night long having to pee every hour on the hour. That combined with insomnia made for a very fun time.

    It also gave him plenty of time to work on his mural that he was sketching on Daisy's wall of her nursery. It was a smaller sized room so there wasn't a lot of space to work with but Naim was just grateful to have a space that could be just for their pup.

    Or the one where Naim works on the mural for Daisy as they get ready to meet her.

    “I’m never, ever breaking up with you,” Naim says softly. He rotates his left wrist, showcasing the 'Ryan’s' in rolling cursive peeking out from underneath his watch. Ryan’s eyes flicker to it. “I would never leave you. I just don’t know how to do all of this stuff right. Talking through things. Marriage. Reckon it might be nice to have some help."

    After 12 years together, Naim decides it's finally time for them to see a couples therapist and really figure out this healthy communication thing. They receive a little book called the 5 love languages.
